    you have some pictures etc, I can ask around if mechanic buddy recommends someone. not replacing the whole frame I am assuming just spot welding for rusted areas. not that I know anything I will just relay msg and see if I get a respond.

    A good place to check with is Overland Outfitters in Surrey.

    Maybe check with @WormSquirts … to see if he will have a peak at the thread.

    Hate to be a downer, but that's not worth saving. Best you could do is cut it all off and start fresh, or find a better condition frame to swap over. Unfortunately we aren't a full on fab shop that could do a project like that right now, sorry

    A guy named Brent, he does solid work and knows his stuff, he works at BCC I believe, but is doing this on the side. I'll post an update when I get my truck back in a couple weeks.
